dade than during tbe twenty vears pre imis to 1840 early in 1840 dr rich nd hare introduced the deflagrator a mm of voltaic battery capable of giving fleets of f reat intensity and also another tm of voltaic apparatus called the calor motor designed to generate with a low u tensity of elect icity an enormous vol ime of heat by means of it large rods if platinum can be ignited and fused in a jew seconds and its magnetic efforts are qually surprising yet it is hardly capa ble of producing the faintest spark be jwccii the cai linn electrodes during he same year henry burden invented iis first cultivator whicli was tbe begin ning of a series ol splendid inventions â€” in 182 lie received a patent for a ma shim for making the wrought spike and iu ls.'.o ior a horseshoe machine then followed an apparatus for making ihe book-beaded spikes used on railways i self-acting machine for reducing iron into blooms after puddling another liorsesho machine a machine for rolling iron iuto bars and finally an entirely new machine for horseshoe making which is ii marvel oi mechanical skill it is belf diiig and produces from iron bars horseshoes at the rate of one a second â€” from these several inventions mr bur rlen amassed an immense fortune also n about 1820 jordan l mott invented the blove for burning small coal pre viously only large lumps had been de voted to domestic purposes and the sin ill fragments weie wasted during bis lifetime he look out more than forty pat ents connected witii coal burning apparat us and also instituded lhe change irom blast furnaces to the cupola iu making stoves and other light castings ilis son ia fries on the business of his father at the present time in this city on a most ex tensive scale iu 1832 james mcdonald of new ymk patented an important machine for breaking and cleaning unrolled ri ix and hemp during the following year nicholas longworth ol cincinnati made his ti i st essay in making wine from ca tawba and other native grapes thus stalling the manufacture of the famous calaw'oa wines at tbe same time anoth er gnat inventor became known in the persou of joseph saxton in 1823 be invented the machine for giving lhe epi cycloidal form to the teeth of notched wheels ; in 182 he made an astronomical cluck fur adjusting the compensation iod in tin pendulum of which he invented ihe n fleeting pyrometer and comparator iu 1839 iie went tu loudon and then in vented the magneto electric machine - subsequently he devihed a self-register ing tide gage a deep sea thermometer a dividing engine and tin hydraulic prin ting press wiih flexible platen in 1821 the franklin institute in philadelphia was founded and in lhe fall nl ihe year its first annual fair was held during the same year zadoc piatt es tabiished his great tannery in prattsville un schoharie creek n y for the man ufacture of hemlock-tanned leather he probably tanned more sole leather thau any man in tbe world and it is said em ployed a capital of over 250,000 and continued the business till his death without a single litigated lawsuit or the loss ut une dollar in bad debts or having a single hide stolen he was elected to congress in 1s_6 and there proposed the introduction through united slates con suls and national vessels of foreign seeds and plants fur distribution by the patent otlice and publication aud engraving of all important patented inventions for circulation throughout tbe country aud the establishment ofa bureau of statistics the year 1825 is memorable for the com pletion of the eiie canal one of the greatest engineering works

electric telegraph 1 new becomes apparent lor in js_ig har rison dyer erected a line on lung island ! and used f notional electricity to give sparks wherewith to make chemically prepared paper dr notr.of union col lege in the same year patented his cele brated stoves which gave bim a world wide reputation iu 1s27 john mc clintic ul pennsylvania devised the firsl practical mortising and teuoningjinachine and iu the same year mr w c red field published iii3 ljiws of storms when in by long continued observation he showed that storms are vast whirl winds having both a rotary motion ant a mot inn of translation on a curved path mr redtield's discoveries are ol immensi value ii.ee they afford a knowledge o cyclones whieh enables navigators tf avoid them the first lucomotive trip ii america was made on the carbondab and honesdale road iu pennsylvania ii 1s28 during thesame year tbe firsl american patent fur a lucomotive was ob tained aud the first straw and bay pape was made it was in 1828 that james bogardus invented the ring flyer for cot tun spinning now in geueral use anc then like saxon and burden produced i invention afier invention with woudeifu celerity lu 1829 be invented mills witl eccentlic grinding plates which hav never been fully superseded in 1s32 the dry gas meter and a machiue for traua erring bank note plates in 1s36 lie lev'sed a marvelously ingenious engra ving machine and in 1840 machines for iressing glass tumblers hu also made mportant improvements in drilling ran bines and in 1847 erected in new york he first cast iron building we believe tver constructed we now reach the period when the li.coveries of professor joseph henry oremost of living american scientists tvere made known previous to bis in vestigations tbe means of developing tiagneiism in soft iron were imperfectly indersiood he was tbe first to prove jy actual experiment that in order to develop magnetic power at a distance a galvanic battery of intensity must be em ployed to project the current through tbe long conductor and tbat a magnet sur otinded by many turns of one long wire uust be used to receive tbis current lie was also tbe first to actually magnetize a niece of iron at a distance and be inven ed tiie first machine moved by tlic agency l eleciromagnetism in 1s20 be exbibi led to tbe albany institute electromag nets of power superior to any before known in 1831 be transmitted signals by p.n electromagnet through a wire more than a mile in length and caused a bell lo ring in 1833 while professor of natural philosophy at princeton college lie explained tbe electromagnetic tele graph but be never reduced the princi ples described to actual practice pro fessor henry also as nearly as 1s30 de monstrated tbat the discharge of a ley len jar consists of a series of oscillations backward and forward a fact afterward by iii in proved true of lightning he ilso in ide tbe remarkable discovery that i voltaic current induces an extra current in the conductor in which it is itself con veyed which however manifests itself inly on making or breaking connection with the battery the system of con juctois adapted to the demonstration are hit spirals of copper ribbon known as henry's coils and by these induced cur rents of the ninth order have been de monstrated and the possible number is theoretically unlimited tbe years 1s3u to 1833 were pvolific in electrical discovery following so close upon henry's investigations as almost to be mingled with tbem came those of d r charles g.page he in vented ingenious electromagnetic loco motives two of which pulled a car weigh ing eleven tons and carrying fourteen passengers at the rale of nineteen miles an hour he observed that he molecular changes in a bar of iron produced by magnetization are attended by audible sounds he invented a pole changer where by a magneto-electric machine may be made a substitute tor a galvanic battery in plectroly.ic and galvanoplastic opera tions he also devised the earliest lorm nf induction coil and made a large num ber of important discoveries in connection therewith resulting iu the invention of a spark-ariesiing circuit breaker it was in the aiituin ot 1832 that sam uel f b 15 morse tben au artist in painting by profession embarked at havre to return to this country on that v.,y - age while in casual conversation wiih a passenger on the reci'nt discovery of lhe relation of el ctrieity and magnetism he conceived the idea of the electromagnetic and chemical recording telegraph sub stantially as it now exists before the close of the year a part of tbe apparatus was constructed in new york hut the telegraph was not experimentally exhibi ted in operation until 1s3 in 1s37 he tiled a caveat and sought fruitlessly congressional pecuniary aid from this time the iiiveutoi's lite was a coniitiued struggle against scant means and ad verse circumstances until the season of congress of 1s42-3 when he obtained an appropriation and in 1841 the experi mental line between new y.irk and washington was completed and the prac ticability ofthe electromagnetic telegraph demonstrated to professor morse is also due the origination of submarine tel egraphy and the first submerged lines were laid bj bim in new york harbor in 1842 he also made the first daguerreo type apparatus aud took the first sun pic tures produced in america in 1832 edward evans patented tht method of unbairing bides by sweating without the use ot lime during the same year dr samuel guthrie of sacketi haibor n y discovered chloroform although he did not understand its tru constitution and called it chloric ether at this pei iod also was produced the firs lock stitch sewing machine hy waltei hunt he made aud sold his machines but was an erratic genius too versatile ti be successful and through his sheer neg ligence lost the opportunity of acquiring the fame and fortune wliich elias how and other patentees subsequently realized in 1s32 m v baldwin of phil idelphia was engaged in perfecting many ot hit numerous inventions in locomotivi mechanism he devised the plan u attaching cylinders to the outside of tin smoke box metallic ground joints ant other valuable improvements his mos important invention was the flexible irucl locomotive patented in 1842 sell boyden of newark n j had ulreadj discovered the japan or varnish by whicl patent leather is produced and had lait the foundation of the manufacture of tha material which bas been successlullj carried on at tbe latter place ever since he also pursued experiments with a view to converting the hardest laminated irot into soft malleable iron and these sue ceediug he began making malleable iror castings between 1831 and 1835 hi subsequently invented several i-nportan improvements in steam engines notably the cut-off instead ot the throttle valve and the connection between cut-off am governor the first practical au.om_.li pin machine appeared in 1832 and wa the iuvention of dr john i howe o connecticut it formed the bead of th pin by dies from a coil of fitie wire in 1833 ilussey of maryland made the first practical harvester it bad open fingers with a knife reciprocating in the space he was followed iu 1834 by cyrus ii mccormick who invented the reaper in which a sickel-edged sectional knife was reciprocated by mechanism from the drive wheel and fingers gath ered tbe grain tbis was an invention of great importance and it met with worldwide usage and secured great re wards to the inventor who still carries on tbe business of manufacture on au en ormous scale in chicago in 1834 professor deuison olmsted of new haven conn by observations of the great meteor shower of the preceding year reached the theory that meteors are portion of a nebulous body drawn into the earth's atmosphere and inflamed by the beat generated by tbe resistance of ihe atmosphere to their motion during the next year dr j w draper began his magnificent investigations of ihe actinic rays of the spectrum which included ex periments on the absorption of lhe chemi cal rays by solid and liquid media the decomposition of carbonic acid by light the interference of chemical rays the cry_taliz.it.ion of substances by rays of light the supposed magnetizing properties of light which he found not to exist aud tbe effects of light upon vegetation dr draper was the first to photograph fraiinhof'er's lines the first to take a portrait by daguerreotype the first to suggest the relation between the spectra of incandescent bodies and their physical or chemical composition the first to devise charts of the spectral lines of bodies the fust to explain the mechanical cause of flow of sap in plants and thatthe yellow ray and nut lhe violet produces the reduc tion of carbonic acid therein and lhe tirst to photograph the moon no one amer ican investigator has made more original researches or extended them over a wider field or contributed more largely to the general progress of science than dr draper in 1s3g another great invention ap peared in the shape of revolving fire arms which were patented by colonel samuel cult of hartford conn these were first used in the florida war of 1s37 but it was not until lhe outbreak of the mex ican war of 1847 that colt erected the works in hartford which have since as sumed eiich immense proportions cult also invented a submarine battery of great power iu the next year a a wells patented the process now in gen eral use fur funning ihe bodies of fur hats by depositing the material directly on a perforated cone revolving in connection with au exhausting fan at about this time john ericsson successfully applied the screw piopeller to purposes of navi gation iu england and immediately thereafter emigrated to ihis country to which belongs his subsequent record of which mention will be made further on in 1839 the united stales government despatched au exploring expedition to the antartic regions no other explorations ot that part of tlie globe have since been made and the somewhat doubtful report of au antartic continent brought back by the united siales vessels bas not been fully verified during the same year cliarles goodyear made the important invention of vulcanizing iudia rubber â€” he had already discovered a method of treating the surface of native iudia rub ber by nitric acid which allowed a surface of rubber to be exposed on goods hither to impracticable owing to the adhesive ness of the material iu the course of experiments iu 1s39 be found that a piece of rubber mixed with ingredients among whicli was sulphur upon being acciden tally brought in contact with a red hot stove was not melted ; but that in certain portions it was charred and in other por tions remained elastic though deprived of adhesiveness more lhan sixty patents were afterwards taken out by him lor im provements in treating iudia rubber and cn articles manufactured from it in is39 also eiastns b bigelow invented his power loom for weaving ingrain car pet this machine could easily weave trom twenty-five to twenty seven yards per day whereas the previous hand loom paoduclion never exceeded eight yards the invention was followed later by a power loom for brussels and tapestry carpets one of the most ingenious pieces of mechanism ever devised mr bigelow also invented a machine for weaving coach lace aud another for weaving counterpanes both of which are in exten sive use here we may close the review of a period remarkable for thi number of great inventions made during iis contin uance the original types then produced have since formed the foundation of thousands of modifications and improve ments and the end of making such changes seems far from beintr attained â€” progress therefore since 1sÂ±0 though rapid is due to development of previous ideas more perhaps than to origination of new ones our next issue will contain a continued history of the more remarkable inventions and discoveries from 1840 up to the pres ent time if mr bayard should be placed on th democratic ticket either for piesident oi vice-president the former not impossi ble by any means and the other quit possible it will require a candidate nol less strung than bristow to hold fast th republican vote mr bayard has im pressed the popular mind with a convic tion of his honesty aud at this

twclvt months â€” wilmington del coinmcrcia rep j of a better breed a story has been going the rounds of the papers that hon r y meailden would be nominated by the l.ads for state treasurer we had believed all along that they were trying to humbug somebody by this story and so it turns out here is the letter upon the subject written to the raleigh neat : charlotte n c june 2d tg editor ritleigh news : â€” dear sir â€” i see it stated in your paper that it is reported in official circles that i would he the radical candidate for public treasurer twice be fore i have seen my name mentioned in your paper in connection with prominent posi tions on the republican ticket i did not attach enough importance to the first two announcements to notice it but as the rule is that three tips is out i will notice iffor no other purpose than to thank the newt and its correspondent fur the interest they seemingly take in my welfare and whilst thanking you for your kindness permit me to say that there is such a thing as hugging to death and as i do not propose to be hugged tn death by any man i will state for the information and relief of all that 1 am not a candidate for any position on either ticket as i can make a tolerable living outside of a political office and feel that my services are not absolutely necessary in any official position to the state : and in adtiition tu this i have so far escaped the prevailing epidemic â€” the desire to sacritice one's self in the service of the dear people as your paper might in a section where i am not known produce the impression tbat i bad changed my politics for office i will state that i am a delegate to the democratic state convention appointed from mecklen burg county where i live ami where it is presumed my politics are well known 1 expect tn attend the convention and exert what influence i can to nominate such a ticket as will command the undivided sup port of the true conservative people ofthe state and thereby insure a domocratic vic tory not only in this state but in the united states at the ensiling election respectfully rr y mcaddek a voice from the south , mississippi march 4 1876 hon , dear sir : tn an outsider anxious that harmony shall prevail in the views of the domocrats of different sections it appears that entire suc eess will not probably attend the present efforts being made at washington to bring about so desirable a condition of feeling 1 say appears because 1 can only speak of things tis they look to a layman at this distance although i sympathize entirely with all effort to produce unity of sentiment and action upon the financial question it dues seem to tr.e that if a little more de termination of purpose to go for hard mon ey were made apparent by those who favor that view of the question supported by those wlm are nut so deeply concerned for the success of that principle as for a change of administration it would do more to se enre concert of action than anything that has vet been tried i take it for granted that all the southern stntes except south carolina and potsuily florida will vote for the nominee of the democractic party without much regard to his views upon the financial question simply because to them the southern states a change of administration with all that implies is of more consequence than the question of gold and silver or green backs*'â€”important as they recognize the latter to be this will give us 127 electoral votes to start with : and as 185 is a majori ty there will be only 58 more necessary in order to succeed to most northern people it would no doubt have the appearance of political heresy to state that any question is of importance than the one of finance be that as it mav it is none the less true as re gard us of the south if the north knew the situation in the south especially if they liad felt as we have they would perhaps look at tin matter as we do promising that any candidate who will be nominated will get the 1*27 southern votes jis above specified would not the votes of new york new jersey and connecticut making 50 and those of california and oregon making 9 more be safe for tlie democrats with a hard money man ? this would give us a 18(5 votes and that would be a majority without another state it is ap parently very doubtful even with a soft money platform about carrying any of the western states and such a platform would probablv lose us all the above northern and pacific states the chances to carry those above mentioned for the democracy with a hard money platform are evidently much better than to carry the western states or any of them with a soft money plat form an intermediate platforn would prob ably carry neither besides if the western state saw a determination to carry out the above policy enough of them would proba bly acquiesce to make the triumph assured for a larger majority : if indeed any of the western states can be carried by the de mocracy at all which is more than doubt ful the south i think does not favor con traction ; but a hard money platform can be made without contraction and resuming as early as 1870 ; if resumption be as is gener ally field impossible without contraction i think the entire smith with the exception ofthe two stales previously named will go for tlie nominee of the democratic party upon a hard money platform if there were no contraction feature iu it that is the way it looks to me the desire for change nf adtiunutratien it mnn strenuous with ut than any and every thing beside all this i say without intend ing to give an opinion on the mooted ques tion of gold or greenbacks but to show the onlv way as it seems to us here i the south to secure n change of administration a thing the south needs and at present wants more than any change in finance and currency important as that may be ' very truly yours * + * as illustrating the value of timber on waste lands an english journal instances tlte sale of wood wliich took place

dade than during tbe twenty vears pre imis to 1840 early in 1840 dr rich nd hare introduced the deflagrator a mm of voltaic battery capable of giving fleets of f reat intensity and also another tm of voltaic apparatus called the calor motor designed to generate with a low u tensity of elect icity an enormous vol ime of heat by means of it large rods if platinum can be ignited and fused in a jew seconds and its magnetic efforts are qually surprising yet it is hardly capa ble of producing the faintest spark be jwccii the cai linn electrodes during he same year henry burden invented iis first cultivator whicli was tbe begin ning of a series ol splendid inventions â€” in 182 lie received a patent for a ma shim for making the wrought spike and iu ls.'.o ior a horseshoe machine then followed an apparatus for making ihe book-beaded spikes used on railways i self-acting machine for reducing iron into blooms after puddling another liorsesho machine a machine for rolling iron iuto bars and finally an entirely new machine for horseshoe making which is ii marvel oi mechanical skill it is belf diiig and produces from iron bars horseshoes at the rate of one a second â€” from these several inventions mr bur rlen amassed an immense fortune also n about 1820 jordan l mott invented the blove for burning small coal pre viously only large lumps had been de voted to domestic purposes and the sin ill fragments weie wasted during bis lifetime he look out more than forty pat ents connected witii coal burning apparat us and also instituded lhe change irom blast furnaces to the cupola iu

important machine for breaking and cleaning unrolled ri ix and hemp during the following year nicholas longworth ol cincinnati made his ti i st essay in making wine from ca tawba and other native grapes thus stalling the manufacture of the famous calaw'oa wines at tbe same time anoth er gnat inventor became known in the persou of joseph saxton in 1823 be invented the machine for giving lhe epi cycloidal form to the teeth of notched wheels ; in 182 he made an astronomical cluck fur adjusting the compensation iod in tin pendulum of which he invented ihe n fleeting pyrometer and comparator iu 1839 iie went tu loudon and then in vented the magneto electric machine - subsequently he devihed a self-register ing tide gage a deep sea thermometer a dividing engine and tin hydraulic prin ting press wiih flexible platen in 1821 the franklin institute in philadelphia was founded and in lhe fall nl ihe year its first annual fair was held during the same year zadoc piatt es tabiished his great tannery in prattsville un schoharie creek n y for the man ufacture of hemlock-tanned leather he probably tanned more sole leather thau any man in tbe world and it is said em ployed a capital of over 250,000 and continued the business till his death without a single litigated lawsuit or the loss ut une dollar in bad debts or having a single hide stolen he was elected to congress in 1s_6 and there proposed the introduction through united slates con suls and national vessels of foreign seeds and plants fur distribution by the patent otlice and publication aud engraving of all important patented

a mot inn of translation on a curved path mr redtield's discoveries are ol immensi value ii.ee they afford a knowledge o cyclones whieh enables navigators tf avoid them the first lucomotive trip ii america was made on the carbondab and honesdale road iu pennsylvania ii 1s28 during thesame year tbe firsl american patent fur a lucomotive was ob tained aud the first straw and bay pape was made it was in 1828 that james bogardus invented the ring flyer for cot tun spinning now in geueral use anc then like saxon and burden produced i invention afier invention with woudeifu celerity lu 1829 be invented mills witl eccentlic grinding plates which hav never been fully superseded in 1s32 the dry gas meter and a machiue for traua erring bank note plates in 1s36 lie lev'sed a marvelously ingenious engra ving machine and in 1840 machines for iressing glass tumblers hu also made mportant improvements in drilling ran bines and in 1847 erected in new york he first cast iron building we believe tver constructed we now reach the period when the li.coveries of professor joseph henry oremost of living american scientists tvere made known previous to bis in vestigations tbe means of developing tiagneiism in soft iron were imperfectly indersiood he was tbe first to prove jy actual experiment that in order to develop magnetic power at a distance a galvanic battery of intensity must be em ployed to project the current through tbe long conductor and tbat a magnet sur otinded by many turns of one long wire uust be used to receive tbis current lie was also tbe first to actually magnetize a niece of iron at a distance and be inven ed tiie first machine moved by tlic agency l eleciromagnetism in 1s20 be exbibi led to tbe albany institute electromag nets of power superior to any before known in 1831 be transmitted signals by p.n electromagnet through a wire more than a mile in length and caused a bell lo ring in 1833 while professor of natural philosophy at princeton college lie explained tbe electromagnetic tele graph but be never reduced the princi ples described to actual practice pro fessor henry also as nearly as 1s30 de monstrated tbat the discharge of a ley len jar consists of a series of oscillations backward and forward a fact afterward by iii in proved true of lightning he ilso in ide tbe remarkable discovery that i voltaic current induces an extra current in the conductor in which it is itself con veyed which however manifests itself inly on making or breaking connection with the battery the system of con juctois adapted to the demonstration are hit spirals of copper ribbon known as henry's coils and by these induced cur rents of the ninth order have been de monstrated and the possible number is theoretically unlimited tbe years 1s3u to 1833 were pvolific in electrical discovery following so close upon henry's investigations as almost to be mingled with tbem came those of d r charles g.page he in vented ingenious electromagnetic loco motives two of which pulled a car weigh ing eleven tons and carrying fourteen passengers at the rale of nineteen miles an hour he observed that he molecular changes in a bar of iron produced by magnetization are attended by audible sounds he invented a pole changer where by a magneto-electric machine may be made a substitute tor a galvanic battery in plectroly.ic and galvanoplastic opera tions he also devised the earliest lorm nf induction coil and made a large num ber of important discoveries in connection therewith resulting iu the invention of a spark-ariesiing circuit breaker it was in the aiituin ot 1832 that sam uel f b 15 morse tben au artist in painting by profession embarked at havre to return to this country on that v.,y - age while in casual conversation wiih a passenger on the reci'nt discovery of lhe relation of el ctrieity and magnetism he conceived the idea of the electromagnetic and chemical recording telegraph sub stantially as it now exists before the close of the year a part of tbe apparatus was constructed in new york hut the telegraph was not experimentally exhibi ted in operation until 1s3 in 1s37 he tiled a caveat and sought fruitlessly congressional pecuniary aid from this time the iiiveutoi's lite was a coniitiued struggle against scant means and ad verse circumstances until the season of congress of 1s42-3 when he obtained an appropriation and in 1841 the experi mental line between new y.irk and washington was completed and the prac ticability ofthe electromagnetic telegraph demonstrated to professor morse is also due the origination of submarine tel egraphy and the first submerged lines were laid bj bim in new york harbor in 1842 he also made the first daguerreo type apparatus aud took the first sun pic tures produced in america in 1832 edward evans patented tht method of unbairing bides by sweating without the use ot lime during the same year dr samuel guthrie of sacketi haibor n y discovered chloroform although he did not understand its tru constitution and called it chloric ether at this pei iod also was produced the firs lock stitch sewing machine hy waltei hunt he made aud sold his machines but was an erratic genius too versatile ti be successful and through his sheer neg ligence lost the opportunity of acquiring the fame and fortune wliich elias how and other patentees subsequently realized in 1s32 m v baldwin of phil idelphia was engaged in perfecting many ot hit numerous inventions in locomotivi mechanism he devised the plan u attaching cylinders to the outside of tin smoke box metallic ground joints ant other valuable improvements his mos important invention was the flexible irucl locomotive patented in 1842 sell boyden of newark n j had ulreadj discovered the japan or varnish by whicl patent leather is produced and had lait the foundation of the manufacture of tha material which bas been successlullj carried on at tbe latter place ever since he also pursued experiments with a view to converting the hardest laminated irot into soft malleable iron and these sue ceediug he began making malleable iror castings between 1831 and 1835 hi subsequently invented several i-nportan improvements in steam engines notably the cut-off instead ot the throttle valve and the connection between cut-off am governor the first practical au.om_.li pin machine appeared in 1832 and wa the iuvention of dr john i howe o connecticut it formed the bead of th pin by dies from a coil of fitie wire in 1833 ilussey of maryland made the first practical harvester it bad open fingers with a knife reciprocating in the space he was followed iu 1834 by cyrus ii mccormick who invented the reaper in which a sickel-edged sectional knife was reciprocated by mechanism from the drive wheel and fingers gath ered tbe grain tbis was an invention of great importance and it met with worldwide usage and secured great re wards to the inventor who still carries on tbe business of manufacture on au en ormous scale in chicago in 1834 professor deuison olmsted of new haven conn by observations of the great meteor shower of the preceding year reached the theory that meteors are portion of a nebulous body drawn into the earth's atmosphere and inflamed by the beat generated by tbe resistance of ihe atmosphere to their motion during the next year dr j w draper began his magnificent investigations of ihe actinic rays of the spectrum which included ex periments on the absorption of lhe chemi cal rays by solid and liquid media the decomposition of carbonic acid by light the interference of chemical rays the cry_taliz.it.ion of substances by rays of light the supposed magnetizing properties of light which he found not to exist aud tbe effects of light upon vegetation dr draper was the first to photograph fraiinhof'er's lines the first to take a portrait by daguerreotype the first to suggest the relation between the spectra of incandescent bodies and their physical or chemical composition the first to devise charts of the spectral lines of bodies the fust to explain the mechanical cause of flow of sap in plants and thatthe yellow ray and nut lhe violet produces the reduc tion of carbonic acid therein and lhe tirst to photograph the moon no one amer ican investigator has made more original researches or extended them over a wider field or contributed more largely to the general progress of science than dr draper in 1s3g another great invention ap peared in the shape of revolving fire arms which were patented by colonel samuel cult of hartford conn these were first used in the florida war of 1s37 but it was not until lhe outbreak of the mex ican war of 1847 that colt erected the works in hartford which have since as sumed eiich immense proportions cult also invented a submarine battery of great power iu the next year a a wells patented the process now in gen eral use fur funning ihe bodies of fur hats by depositing the material directly on a perforated cone revolving in connection with au exhausting fan at about this time john ericsson successfully applied the screw piopeller to purposes of navi gation iu england and immediately thereafter emigrated to ihis country to which belongs his subsequent record of which mention will be made further on in 1839 the united stales government despatched au exploring expedition to the antartic regions no other explorations ot that part of tlie globe have since been made and the somewhat doubtful report of au antartic continent brought back by the united siales vessels bas not been fully verified during the same year cliarles goodyear made the important invention of vulcanizing iudia rubber â€” he had already discovered a method of treating the surface of native iudia rub ber by nitric acid which allowed a surface of rubber to be exposed on goods hither to impracticable owing to the adhesive ness of the material iu the course of experiments iu 1s39 be found that a piece of rubber mixed with ingredients among whicli was sulphur upon being acciden tally brought in contact with a red hot stove was not melted ; but that in certain portions it was charred and in other por tions remained elastic though deprived of adhesiveness more lhan sixty patents were afterwards taken out by him lor im provements in treating iudia rubber and cn articles manufactured from it in is39 also eiastns b bigelow invented his power loom for weaving ingrain car pet this machine could easily weave trom twenty-five to twenty seven yards per day whereas the previous hand loom paoduclion never exceeded eight yards the invention was followed later by a power loom for brussels and tapestry carpets one of the most ingenious pieces of mechanism ever devised mr bigelow also invented a machine for weaving coach lace aud another for weaving counterpanes both of which are in exten sive use here we may close the review of a period remarkable for thi number of great inventions made during iis contin uance the original types then produced have since formed the foundation of thousands of modifications and improve ments and the end of making such changes seems far from beintr attained â€” progress therefore since 1sÂ±0 though rapid is due to development of previous ideas more perhaps than to origination of new ones our next issue will contain a continued history of the more remarkable inventions and discoveries from 1840 up to the pres ent time if mr bayard should be placed on th democratic ticket either for piesident oi vice-president the former not impossi ble by any means and the other quit possible it will require a candidate nol less strung than bristow to hold fast th republican vote mr bayard has im pressed the popular mind with a convic tion of his honesty aud at this

twclvt months â€” wilmington del coinmcrcia rep j of a better breed a story has been going the rounds of the papers that hon r y meailden would be nominated by the l.ads for state treasurer we had believed all along that they were trying to humbug somebody by this story and so it turns out here is the letter upon the subject written to the raleigh neat : charlotte n c june 2d tg editor ritleigh news : â€” dear sir â€” i see it stated in your paper that it is reported in official circles that i would he the radical candidate for public treasurer twice be fore i have seen my name mentioned in your paper in connection with prominent posi tions on the republican ticket i did not attach enough importance to the first two announcements to notice it but as the rule is that three tips is out i will notice iffor no other purpose than to thank the newt and its correspondent fur the interest they seemingly take in my welfare and whilst thanking you for your kindness permit me to say that there is such a thing as hugging to death and as i do not propose to be hugged tn death by any man i will state for the information and relief of all that 1 am not a candidate for any position on either ticket as i can make a tolerable living outside of a political office and feel that my services are not absolutely necessary in any official position to the state : and in adtiition tu this i have so far escaped the prevailing epidemic â€” the desire to sacritice one's self in the service of the dear people as your paper might in a section where i am not known produce the impression tbat i bad changed my politics for office i will state that i am a delegate to the democratic state convention appointed from mecklen burg county where i live ami where it is presumed my politics are well known 1 expect tn attend the convention and exert what influence i can to nominate such a ticket as will command the undivided sup port of the true conservative people ofthe state and thereby insure a domocratic vic tory not only in this state but in the united states at the ensiling election respectfully rr y mcaddek a voice from the south , mississippi march 4 1876 hon , dear sir : tn an outsider anxious that harmony shall prevail in the views of the domocrats of different sections it appears that entire suc eess will not probably attend the present efforts being made at washington to bring about so desirable a condition of feeling 1 say appears because 1 can only speak of things tis they look to a layman at this distance although i sympathize entirely with all effort to produce unity of sentiment and action upon the financial question it dues seem to tr.e that if a little more de termination of purpose to go for hard mon ey were made apparent by those who favor that view of the question supported by those wlm are nut so deeply concerned for the success of that principle as for a change of administration it would do more to se enre concert of action than anything that has vet been tried i take it for granted that all the southern stntes except south carolina and potsuily florida will vote for the nominee of the democractic party without much regard to his views upon the financial question simply because to them the southern states a change of administration with all that implies is of more consequence than the question of gold and silver or green backs*'â€”important as they recognize the latter to be this will give us 127 electoral votes to start with : and as 185 is a majori ty there will be only 58 more necessary in order to succeed to most northern people it would no doubt have the appearance of political heresy to state that any question is of importance than the one of finance be that as it mav it is none the less true as re gard us of the south if the north knew the situation in the south especially if they liad felt as we have they would perhaps look at tin matter as we do promising that any candidate who will be nominated will get the 1*27 southern votes jis above specified would not the votes of new york new jersey and connecticut making 50 and those of california and oregon making 9 more be safe for tlie democrats with a hard money man ? this would give us a 18(5 votes and that would be a majority without another state it is ap parently very doubtful even with a soft money platform about carrying any of the western states and such a platform would probablv lose us all the above northern and pacific states the chances to carry those above mentioned for the democracy with a hard money platform are evidently much better than to carry the western states or any of them with a soft money plat form an intermediate platforn would prob ably carry neither besides if the western state saw a determination to carry out the above policy enough of them would proba bly acquiesce to make the triumph assured for a larger majority : if indeed any of the western states can be carried by the de mocracy at all which is more than doubt ful the south i think does not favor con traction ; but a hard money platform can be made without contraction and resuming as early as 1870 ; if resumption be as is gener ally field impossible without contraction i think the entire smith with the exception ofthe two stales previously named will go for tlie nominee of the democratic party upon a hard money platform if there were no contraction feature iu it that is the way it looks to me the desire for change nf adtiunutratien it mnn strenuous with ut than any and every thing beside all this i say without intend ing to give an opinion on the mooted ques tion of gold or greenbacks but to show the onlv way as it seems to us here i the south to secure n change of administration a thing the south needs and at present wants more than any change in finance and currency important as that may be ' very truly yours * + * as illustrating the value of timber on waste lands an english journal instances tlte sale of wood wliich took place
